When I read the article, it appeared to me that this shutdown is just of
their manufacturing facilities in Williamsport, PA, not Shop-Vac as a
whole. They have manufacturing facilities in Binghamton, NY as well as
China.

This article
<https://www.northcentralpa.com/business/shop-vac-is-closing-hundreds-of-employees-to-lose-jobs/article_22df06ee-f77a-11ea-b643-0bc122c9e71c.html>
seems to indicate that it is Shop-Vac as a whole, which I'd find quite
surprising, given the ubiquity of their products! Then again, it is hard
for manufacturing companies to manufacture when the Pennsylvania government
prevents employees from working....
